Jeremiah 31:33-34 - Original Art #3069

This is the new covenant
I will make says the Lord.
I will put my instructions
deep within their hearts.
I will be their God
and they will be my people,
and I will forgive their wickedness
and I will never again remember their sins.

The lettering for this piece is inspired by Ireland's national treasure, The Book of Kells, written around 800 AD. It contains the four Gospels and is on display at Trinity College in Dublin. The knotwork on the left, often associated with Irish manuscripts, stands for the new covenant which Jesus referred to at his last meal with his disciples.
